Sicker than your average.

So… how much does a wedding DJ cost?

We get a lot of people asking us for our prices (nothing wrong with that – everyone has a budget to work with).

But there’s a lot more to booking the right wedding DJ than just knowing how much they cost.

Since most people have never booked a DJ before and might not know what questions to ask, we’re going to go with an example that you’ll be more familiar with (buckle up – here comes a sandwich analogy).

How to choose a wedding DJ (using a sandwich analogy)

You call up a sandwich shop to order a sandwich but all you ask is:

‘How much for a sandwich?’

They tell you ‘$20’. This sounds pretty expensive, after all, you just want a sandwich, so you call up another place and they tell you their sandwiches are $2.

Great price for a sandwich, right?

You go and pick up your $2 sandwich and you find out it’s a cheese sandwich. You didn’t want a cheesy sandwich! You wanted an amazing, gourmet sandwich! This wasn’t for just any kind of lunch – it was an important, once in a lifetime lunch.

And it’s too late to change your mind.

Oh the disappointment!

If only you’d chatted with the first guy, you would have found out he was a master sandwich maker and was going to make you the best damn sandwich you’ve ever experienced, the kind of sandwich you’ll be talking about in ten years time – for only $20!

In fact, if you’d taken the time to meet the guy, you would have realised it was Gordon Ramsay making your sandwich! Suddenly $20 doesn’t seem so expensive after all.

You probably know where we’re going with this… but in case you don’t, go back and replace the word ‘sandwich’ with ‘DJ’ and the word ‘lunch’ with ‘wedding reception’ (you can leave the word cheesy as it is).

There are a few ways that DJs are not like sandwiches. You can’t just walk into a DJ shop, have a look at their DJs and say “That one looks delicious” (ok maybe the sandwich analogy isn’t working any more…).

To figure out which DJ will tick all your boxes, do your research. Look at their website.
